- We find it hard to apply the knowledge of ourselves to our judgment of others. The fact that we are never of one kind, that we never love without reservations and never hate with all our being cannot prevent us from seeing others as wholly black or white.
- Eric Hoffer (1902 - 1983)
- Foolish men imagine that because judgment for an evil thing is delayed, there is no justice; but only accident here below. Judgment for an evil thing is many times delayed some day or two, some century or two, but it is sure as life, it is sure as death.
- Thomas Carlyle (1795 - 1881)
- When you laugh, be sure to laugh at what people do and not at what people are.

- Life does not cease to be funny when people die; any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.
- George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950)
- Beware of him who hates the laugh of a child.

- Nothing shows a man's character more than what he laughs at.
- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832)
- Laughter, while it lasts, slackens and unbraces the mind, weakens the faculties and causes a kind of remissness and dissolution in all the powers of the soul; and thus it may be looked on as weakness in the composition of human nature.

- Joseph Addison (1672 - 1719)
- Having supplied them with names, omnipotence, justice, knowledge, Providence, - what are they?
- Author Unknown
